Everyone at MGPS is very proud of our Grade 6 representatives for hosting a fantastic ANZAC Day Service. It was great to see lots of parents and family members attend. The wreaths look amazing and there was a lot of work put into them. Check them out in the foyer at school - some even have special messages on them. A proud moment to be a part of a terrific school!
